You need more balance and less fawn jumpy energy.
Get to the ball, set feet, then hit. Concentrate more on shoulder turn.
Watch vids of AussieOpen players and watch their balance and economy of movement. Try to be less jumpy. That would add weight to your shots.

Your strokes look better to me than mine do, so I can't criticize. Whatever the more knowledgeable posters say. Thanks for the video. Good camera perspective. Make some videos where you're hitting full out more.

I thought your forehands looked pretty good. Backhand was a bit off balance and didn't have enough drive/extension through the stroke. I can tell you're a good player - and it seems like you spend enough time playing to where you'll figure this stuff out pretty fast.

On forehand side try to set up deeper - more leg bend, more shoulder rotation (use your left arm more). On arm action try to smoothly extend the forearm a bit down and behind you right at the end of take back, so you get more upwards brush on the ball from the arm, instead of just relying on very narrow wrist action window

I've started doing that stupid "hold your hands one inch away from your body" thing, I thought I got away from that.
